Repairing or changing an inner tube
1.
Remove the rear wheel and release any air from the
inner tube.
2.
Lift one tyre wall away from the rim using a bicycle tyre
lever. Do not use sharp objects such as a screwdriver
which could damage the inner tube.
3.
Pull the inner tube out of the tyre.
4.
Repair the inner tube using a bicycle repair kit or, if
necessary, replace the tube.
5.
Inflate the tube slightly until it becomes round.
6.
Insert the valve into the valve hole on the rim and place
the tube inside the tyre (the tube should lie right round
the tyre with no creases).
7.
Lift the tyre wall over the edge of the rim. Start close to
the valve and use a bicycle tyre lever. When doing this,
check all the way round to ensure that the inner tube is
not trapped between the tyre and the rim.
8.
Inflate the tyre to the maximum operating pressure.
Check that no air is escaping from the tyre.

8.3 Cleaning and Disinfection
8.3.1 General Safety Information
CAUTION!
Risk of Contamination
– Take precautions for yourself and use
appropriate protective equipment.
IMPORTANT!
Wrong fluids or methods can harm or damage
the product.
– All cleaning agents and disinfectants used must
be effective, compatible with one another and
must protect the materials they are used to
clean.
– Never use corrosive fluids (alkalines, acid etc.)
or abrasive cleaning agents. We recommend
an ordinary household cleaning agent such as
dishwashing liquid, if not specified otherwise in
the cleaning instructions.
– Never use a solvent (cellulose thinner, acetone
etc.) that changes the structure of the plastic
or dissolves the attached labels.
– Always make sure that the product is completely
dried before taking it into use again.
For cleaning and disinfection in clinical or long-term
care environments, follow your in-house procedures.
8.3.2 Cleaning Intervals
IMPORTANT!
Regular cleaning and disinfection enhances
smooth operation, increases the service life and
prevents contamination.
Clean and disinfect the product
– regularly while it is in use,
– before and after any service procedure,
– when it has been in contact with any body
fluids,
– before using it for a new user.
8.3.3 Cleaning
IMPORTANT!
– The product does not tolerate cleaning in
automatic washing plants, with high-pressure
cleaning equipment or steam.
IMPORTANT!
Dirt, sand and seawater can damage the bearings
and steel parts can rust if the surface is damaged.
– Only expose the wheelchair to sand and
seawater for short periods and clean it after
every trip to the beach.
– If the wheelchair is dirty, wipe off the dirt as
soon as possible with a damp cloth and dry it
carefully.
1.
Remove any installed optional equipment (only optional
equipment which does not require tools).
2.
Wipe down the individual parts using a cloth or soft
brush, ordinary household cleaning agents (pH = 6 - 8)
and warm water.
3.
Rinse the parts with warm water.
4.
Thoroughly dry the parts with a dry cloth.
Car polish and soft wax can be used on painted metal
surfaces to remove abrasions and restore gloss.
Cleaning upholstery
For cleaning upholstery refer to the instructions on the labels
of the seat, cushion and backrest cover.
If possible, always overlap hook and loop strips (the
self-gripping parts) when washing, to minimize lint
and thread build-up on hook strips and prevent
damage to upholstery fabric by these.
8.3.4 Disinfection
The wheelchair may be disinfected by spraying or wiping
with tested, approved disinfectants.
Spray a soft cleaning and disinfecting product
(bactericidal and fungicide meeting the EN1040
/ EN1276 / EN1650 standards) and follow the
instructions given by the manufacturer.
